"Inspection" means checking and checking. In the Sui Dynasty, it became an official title and was added to the official name.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the official position of "Jianxiao" was either a casual official or an added official, which did not have official power. It mainly expressed deep favor and was more like an honorary official title. After the Anshi Rebellion, the official position of "Jianxiao" became even more popular, and its scope of use
Expanded, even the shogunate counselors of Jiedushi took the official position of "inspection", and gradually became worthless...
However, in the middle and early Tang Dynasty, especially during the Zhenguan Dynasty, the official position of "inspector" was awarded informally, but he had the right to perform the official duties, which was equivalent to the official position of "acting".
Therefore, Fang Jun's official position at this moment should be "Acting Minister of the Ministry of War".
Moreover, since the official position of "inspecting the school" is not a formal official position, His Majesty Li Er, who strongly promoted the expansion of the power of the Government Hall, can directly appoint him. The procedure does not require the approval of the Government Hall and the Ministry of Personnel.
However, Li Ji's promotion to Shangshu Zuopushe required the approval of all the ministers and ministers in the political affairs hall before he could take office. At least this was the procedure for the appointment and removal of officials during the Zhenguan Dynasty. Of course, how could the emperor's personal decree be rejected and not approved?
His Majesty Li Er intends to enhance the power of the political hall to curb the imperial power in his hands. It must be said that he has an outstanding vision that has traveled through the ages. However, at the peak of the feudal dynasty, such actions are really in vain...
The reason why the ministers were shocked was not because of Fang Jun's rise to power.
No one can ignore Fang Xuanling's power, and the emperor's regard for her makes people unable to even feel jealous. When it comes to loyalty and contribution to the emperor, looking at the court, how many people can compare with it? Now Fang Xuanling
It is fashionable to become an official at an old age and full of grievances. It is reasonable and reasonable to promote Fang Jun to an official position as compensation, and no one can say anything against it.
However, Li Ji was directly promoted to Shangshu Zuopushe, which was really surprising.
Because according to common sense, when Zuo Pushe resigns, You Pushe must succeed him... and the current Minister, You Pushe, is Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty.
The emperor's intention is very clear. I won't hold you accountable for what you have done, and I can still give you face. But I will give Fang Xuanling an explanation now. Don't gossip, let alone come up with such specious and nonsense rhetoric.
Deny Fang Jun.
Because, that matter has ended here!
If anyone continues to hold on, the emperor will be furious, and a thorough investigation will be conducted. By then, who is right, who is wrong, and who has such dirty thoughts will be revealed to the world. Even if the emperor is still worried about the plan of the Eastern Expedition, he must be punished.
Chao Gang rectifies the laws of the country.
If I give you face, you have to keep it.
If you are shameless, then don’t blame me for turning against you...
Xiao Yu's face was calm, but his heart was full of bitterness. Originally, he wanted to suppress Fang Jun and take the opportunity to expand the interests of the Jiangnan gentry in maritime trade. However, not only did the suppression fail, but Fang Jun was promoted again.
This man is already a first-class loyal minister of the imperial court, one of the nine ministers at the center of the empire's power!
Well, if this tone can be tolerated, then the fact that the position of Minister Zuopushe, who was so close at hand, slipped away from his hands, made his heart throbbing...
Fang Xuanling's resignation letter is really terrible!
Isn't it just to suppress your son? It's not like you take him seriously. It's just that he has the reputation of being a willful playboy, and he can't be punished strictly. It's just to slow down the speed of promotion. But that kid is already the Minister of the Ministry of War before he reaches the weak rank.
Well, from ancient times to the present, there are very few people of this age occupying such high positions, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
He had to pretend to be aggrieved and write this memorial, which made the emperor feel guilty and furious. As a result, in order to compensate Fang Xuanling, he promoted Fang Jun to the position of Minister of Military Affairs. In order to vent his anger, he promoted Fang Jun to the position of Minister of Military Affairs.
The official position of Shangshu Zuopushe was thrown into Li Ji's head.
Xiao Yu himself could be said to have lost his wife and lost his troops, gained nothing and was empty-handed, and even hired a young official with a bright future...
Xiao Yu was so depressed that he couldn't speak. Fang Xuanling's gentle and peaceful face appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly cursed. He said that Changsun Wuji was a "shady person", but he really turned out to be sinister.
Fang Xuanling did not hesitate to give in too much...
Changsun Wuji also sighed secretly. Even though he was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to say anything in rebuttal.
Li Ji is a member of the army. He has great military exploits and outstanding abilities. Regardless of his ability and qualifications, he is more than qualified to serve as the minister Zuopu She. In terms of power, Li Ji, who has the support of a group of military bosses, is not inferior to Xiao Yu or himself.
It's just that this guy Fang Jun actually inspected the school's Minister of Military Affairs... It was like a big stone blocking his chest.
"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment, the humble minister seconded the proposal."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
Changsun Wuji is still depressed and uncomfortable. Ma Zhou, Cen Wenwen, Liu Jie and others have already expressed their support. Although Li Ji's appointment must go through a process from the political hall, now these powerful figures second the emperor, even if he wants to
If you want to interfere with it, you are powerless...
Maybe... I really should keep a low profile and stay away from the court?
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy and said in a deep voice: "Old minister... second the proposal."
The mood becomes more and more lonely, and the determination becomes stronger...
His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly and said: "As for Le Yanwei... although his violation of national law is unforgivable, his crime is not worthy of death. He should be dismissed from office and never be used again."
Xiao Yu was slightly shocked and did not dare to say a word.
Although I knew that the emperor's words "that's it" meant that Le Yanwei would not be executed, but it was too harsh to dismiss him from office and never resign him. It was so hard for a young official with a bright future to end his official career just like that.
The career path is only a little better than beheading...
But who can blame it?
This person is so stupid that it would be fine if they couldn't find any evidence of Fang Jun's crime, but he wants to frame him... Do you really think Fang Xuanling is a toothless tiger, or do you think Fang Jun is a vegetarian sheep? Just be stupid.
, it is unforgivable that I have to pass up the position of chief assistant to Zuo Pushe!
*****
The Zhongshu Province issued imperial edicts one after another, Fang Xuanling became an official, Li Ji promoted Zuopushe to Shangshu, Fang Jun was granted the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Le Yanwei, the supervisory censor, was dismissed from his official post and never used it again... One after another, Chang'an officialdom was shaken.
Shocked, people started talking about it.
To a certain extent, Fang Xuanling is the embodiment of the central government. Every decree he promulgates is to encourage prosperity with light corvee and low taxes, and he has a gentle temperament and justice. Regardless of officialdom or among the people, he is deeply respected by both the government and the public, and his reputation is extremely high.
good.
However, such a capable minister who was loyal to the country could not withstand the erosion of time and had to retreat to the mountains and forests. How could it not be missed and lamented...
There are some doubts about Li Ji's promotion to Shangshu Zuopushe and his performance as the chief assistant, but most of them definitely agree, especially among the officials in the court. There are almost no objections. Since the emperor gave the surname Li to the emperor in the second year of Wude, he offered his land to surrender.
, Li Ji has always been a military general. Although he is not as bright as Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others, he has won every battle and never disappointed the court. He captured and killed Fugong, defeated the Eastern Turks, hunted down Xue Yantuo, and always encountered dangerous battles.
, the first thing that everyone in the government and the public thought of was Li Ji.
After Li Jing retired, Li Ji used his position as the first person in the military to control the generals, and no one was dissatisfied.
As for Fang Jun, there was not much discussion. Previously, because of the case of the supervisory censor impeaching Fang Jun for "robbing a civilian girl", public opinion gradually disappeared as the case became clear. Fang Jun took up the post of "Inspection and Military Affairs Minister".
No one in the court doubted Fang Jun's abilities. After all, Fang Jun had shown extraordinary strategic ability in the annihilation of Gaochang Kingdom and the battle of Niuzhuji, and his contribution to the expansion of Linyi Kingdom's territory. Even some people were dissatisfied.
, which is also blameless.
The only thing that doesn't convince everyone is his age...
From ancient times to the present, there are not many people who have reached high positions at a young age. Logically speaking, Fang Jun is not too shocking. But if you look closely, you will find that most of those who have achieved success at a young age are from royal families and do not live in key yamen.
, like Fang Jun, who took charge of the military and political affairs of a country before he was even a weak official. Not to mention that it has never happened before, it is enough to be famous in history.
But when I think about the power of his father Fang Xuanling and the favor of the emperor, I feel relieved.
You have a good father and a good father-in-law. The most important thing is that you are capable. If someone else doesn't take the top position, who will take the top position? Even if you are envious and jealous, and your stomach is sour, you must not admit that Fang Jun is in charge of the Ministry of War, even if it is not expected by the public.
But it's natural.
This is an era of "fighting for fathers". Origin means almost everything, and family represents the upper limit of life. Having a good father and a good family is your natural capital. Others are only envious, and few future generations are like that.
They are generally full of contempt and disdain for "a certain second generation".
Are you dissatisfied?
Yes, but if you want to express disdain, you must first have a good father...
The results of the supervision of the censor Le Yanwei caused widespread controversy.
